What size float should I use?
On a calm stillwater you’ll generally want 0.1g in float size for every 1.5ft of water. So for example a 0.2g float is ideal for 3ft of water and a 0.4g-0.6g for 6ft of water. If its windy however, you will probably need to use a heavier float than this guide because of the increased tow.
